The thing is, this manga is about Keima. If the goddesses were incredibly smart and effective, they'd just solve everything and it'd be the end...
The fact that they're far from being all knowing keeps the story interesting. When you're writing a conflict, if you put overpowered people on one side, you need overpowered people on the other side to keep things from being boring.
If the goddesses were stronger/smarter/better, then we'd need stronger/smarter/better enemies too... Where would that leave Keima? Who can only rely on his brain after all.
Maybe I'm biased because I actually like the goddesses as they are though.

The problem,how can we validate the talk about the previous war if all goddess confirmed to be idiot?
Similar to haqua, after she is proven to be naive idiot who believe in anything people said without analyze it first, how can we trust any news she bought anymore?
And i don't ask all of them, duh. I just say that the author need to make at least 1 goddess comparable to keima in intelligence to make the story believable

I find it hilarious that a person who fails at simple grammar is calling fictional characters "idiots".
Listen kid, this is manga. SHOUNEN manga.
The target audience are young males (and females) - meaning things don't have to make sense as long as it is entertaining
If you want something serious, something that makes much more sense to your oh-so-not-idiotic mind, then read SEINEN.

ah sorry then.
after all, watching my grammar is the least thing i do in forum discussion. Now, if this was paper-task in college, it will be different.

The Goddesses aren't your typical omni- god, they have their own logic behind them as established in this manga.
The Goddeses are about their fighting poweress, not their intelligence.They have different abilities.
You don't have to be necessarily smart to be good fighter.Soldier and strategist don't really go hana in hand most of the time in the Real world.
A power up desn't mean that they will win,this isn't a typical shonen.The reason why they lost is simply that they aren't as powerful as they used to be even with wings.
The whole its "Shonen or Senin" is rathey weak/petty argument.Maturity isn't just about doing "adult "stuff, its about responsibility and how you act. TWGOK showed such understanding.A change in target group from kids to adults doesn't mean the writing will just be good by default.Eg Miyazaki flims.For kids, but good writing

well, like everyone else, i am very hyped when the goddess arc was started. But after 30 chapter passed, my hype is changed into dissapointment by how wakaki portray the goddess so dumb. Is anyone feel the same as i am?
if i list it:
Diana: well, the smartest goddess around, but as the manga portr ...
if i list it:

How should i say it, "that's manga(retail) industry for you♪".
For industry sake, a product which we can expect made better, intentionally limited at such level so that makes us think "this manga should be better than this" bla bla bla. When it starts boring, the industry ends the product. When the manga starts boring, eventually it just end.
